Hi guys. was checking to see if MS/HTC pushing out any update and got " We are currently unable to check for updates. (800700002) error today. I have power off/on a few times but still the same error. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix? Thanks.

edit. Just try to back up phone app setting and got same error. wont let me back up. I was going to try a back up then reboot phone but o well.

I'm getting the same error. Just noticed it. I read an article that there is a new 8X update out this morning so I was trying to find and apply it when I noticed the error. Hopefully it will go away in a day or two.

I have the same issue on my Verizon 8X model. What concerns me more, though, is that I get the same error code when trying to backup my app list and settings. Looking at other forums that talk about this same error code on Windows Vista and Windows 7, they mention that there is a directory in the file system that can be cleared out to get past this error. Considering Windows Phone 8 is based on the same kernel, and I would presume the same file system structure as the desktop versions, the fix/workaround for the 80070002 errors should be the same, shouldn't it?

I'm getting this error, which started today. Also as weird is my 8X is acting up all over the place; tiles/apps won't open on first try, can't access settings for emails, and other things. What's going on?
